Sources told ESPN that Jenkins has playing with a "debilitating ankle injury" for the past two months. Jenkins missed the Giants' loss to the Lions in Week 2 with an ankle injury and he remained on the injury report for the next three weeks, but he didn't miss any more games due to the injury.

Jenkins played every defensive snap in the two games following his suspension. He missed 12 snaps in Thursday's game after the third-quarter interception return. Jenkins suffered the injury when a Redskins offensive lineman landed on his ankle while tackling the cornerback into the end zone at the end of the return.

Giants cornerback Donte Deayon also was lost for the season on Thursday night with a broken forearm. That leaves the Giants with just three healthy cornerbacks on their active roster: Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Ross Cockrell and Eli Apple.

Apple has been a healthy scratch for the past two games and the New York Post reported on Saturday that the 2016 first-round pick was benched due to concerns about his "mental state." Apple reportedly twice threatened to walk out of the team's facility after criticism from coaches and teammates during a film session.
